Pointing a domain to a directory of another domain

[Zoom123]

Hello,

Lets say I have a domain "somedomain.com" with a directory like "somedomain.com/mobile". Now I also have somedomain.mobi , how can I make the .mobi domain point to somedomain.com/mobile ?

I don't want just to redirect or mask, I want it to work normally, like a subdomain would.

Thanks

Assuming you're using Apache, it's quite simple. Assuming the mobile document root is at /var/www/somedomain.com/mobile

From within your name-based virtual host config, you would just use this directive for your document root:
DocumentRoot /var/www/somedomain.com/mobile

Yes I am using apache. I will ask my host to do that.

Thanks

z123,

A subdomain is the same as a completely different domain so it would be handled exactly the same way another domain would be handled, i.e., via the DNS and your control panel/httpd.conf.
